Sample Answer 1

• who was he/she

I have not shared a living space with many people as I have completed most of my education away from home and my parents. But, today, I am going to talk about Melissa, as she gradually became my best friend after we began to share an apartment during our college days. 

• how long this person lived with you
• why he/she moved to live with you

We were both looking for an apartment near the college to rent and discussing how tough it was to find something suitable. Then, over a cup of coffee, we devised a scheme to combine our resources and try to share a space so that we could afford something more reasonable than if we did it independently. During the four years we lived together, we got to know each other well. 

Melissa was a lot more outgoing and extroverted than I was. She was always inclined to help others and was involved in many extracurricular activities at college – she seemed to be engaged in an endless stream of projects and causes. We saw each other at our worst and most significant moments and shared many experiences. As you might expect, after living together for so long, we did many things together. 

• and explain how you felt about it.

Looking back on that period, I can honestly say it was one of the happiest times. We always managed to have an excellent time and enjoy ourselves, even though studying was difficult and we didn’t have much money to expend. We only ever had one dreadful quarrel, suitable for two females living together for such a long time. Even though we no longer live together and don’t see each other daily, she is still my best friend. Because of the time we spent together back then – it was one of those defining occasions in our life – I believe we’ll always be close.

Sample Answer 2

• who was he/she

Many of my friends began to live independently at the age of 18. However, as my house is near my university, I didn’t have to move out at that age. It’s not until when I was offered the first job after graduation that I began to live on my own. At that time, I had to join a training course for new staff in our head office in Ho Chi Minh City in 3 months. During that period, an administration staff was in charge of renting accommodation for me. To save cost, I have to stay with another new female staff from Hanoi.

• how long this person lived with you
• why he/she moved to live with you

We didn’t have chances to meet each other until the flight. On the flight, we got introduced to each other and make plans for buying some necessities as we had to live together in 3 months. Fortunately, she was at the same age with me, so, we had a lot in common to talk about. Honestly, living with her was quite comfortable as she was nice. She had travelled to Ho Chi Minh City many times before, thus, she was accustomed to northern life and she could help me a lot.

• and explain how you felt about it.

With her, I found living in Ho Chi Minh City not as hard as I expected. She also gave me some useful tips and places to explore special cuisine there. Sometimes, we got into fights because of several misunderstanding. However, we always succeeded in reaching an agreement soon.

Besides, we had good friends in Ho Chi Minh City. As my roommate and I are Hanoians, our colleagues often came asking about Hanoi culture or cuisine, which made us easier to get along with them. We had a great time together, and now, after moving back to Hanoi, we’re still keeping in touch with each other.
